Rating: 1/5 We stayed at Hotel Aura for one night with our family of four (two adults, preteen son, and 8-year-old). Check-in was smooth at 5 pm, but our experience quickly turned sour. Upon entering room 207, we discovered the bathroom door lock wasn't working. We informed reception, and the staff member confirmed the issue. However, the manager's response was shocking: "You're a family, you can manage." No effort was made to change our room or fix the lock. This was extremely inconvenient, especially with young children. The bathroom door would sometimes get stuck, requiring assistance from outside to open. The worst experience was at midnight when I got stuck inside and had to bang on the door to wake my husband for help.

The included parking was great. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The street was noisy as our room/ window faced the main road, but i do pack a noise machine, so that helped. The included breakfast was a deciding factor in picking this hotel, but the breakfast lacked in protine options. It was extremely carb heavy. Protine options were yogurt, and hard boiled eggs only.

At around 5 AM, I was woken up by loud noises from the room above me, which sounded like people running and children making noise. The walls seem to be paper-thin, as every sound from upstairs was clearly audible, making it impossible to get a good night’s rest. I chose this hotel for its convenience to the airport, but unfortunately, the lack of soundproofing greatly impacted my stay.
